VPT, Inc. Celebrates 25th Anniversary @VPTnews

BLACKSBURG, VA, September 12, 2018 – VPT, Inc., a HEICO company (NYSE:HEI.A) (NYSE:HEI), celebrates its milestone 25th Anniversary this year. Throughout the last quarter century, VPT has grown to become a global leader in providing power conversion solutions for use in avionics, military, space, and industrial applications, with an extensive range of award-winning DC-DC converters, EMI filters, and associated products.

VPT was founded in 1993 when CEO Dr. Dan Sable joined two other engineers - Fred Lee, former director of the Virginia Tech Center for Power Electronics, and Gary Hua to form the company. In the 25 years since it first began as a three-engineer start-up known as Virginia Power Technologies, Inc., VPT has seen significant and consistent growth in size and sales, regularly expanding product lines, as well as the 2013 addition of VPT Rad, a 5000 square-foot comprehensive radiation laboratory and test services facility. Dr. Sable stated, “Watching VPT grow over the last 25 years from a small start-up to a global leader in the Hi-Rel DC-DC Converter Market has been incredibly exciting. The key to our success has been the amazing group of people that make up the VPT family at our facilities in Virginia, Washington state, Massachusetts, and Taiwan.” Read full release
